How they got here
49 matches in Valve's six-month window, 23 won, across 14 events. Every figure below is Valve's own, taken from the published standings.
Valve counts only the ten best wins in each of these three factors. All thirty slots are full, so a new result counts only by pushing an older one out. A loss takes no slot: it moves only head to head.

How these numbers are made
Matches, head-to-head changes, age weights and counting slots are Valve's, from its Regional Standings of 7 September 2026. Which event a match belongs to is our join to bo3's calendar.
The whole method: the model, its sources, how well it has done and what it cannot see.

What the rating is made of
Valve's model averages four factors into a starting value, then adjusts it for head-to-head results. For 3DMAX that is 1,300.7 minus 2.9.

0.841 is the highest average of any roster Valve loaded and 0.000 the lowest, both printed in Valve's file. If the top pulls away, everyone below falls without playing worse.
Valve ranked 401 rosters in this release: every lineup with a win and at least five matches in the six-month window.
Head to head is added last: a Glicko adjustment, match by match in date order.
Valve's file prints 1,300.7; the factors here are rounded to three decimals.
3DMAX: Below the median of the 24 chasing the slots on all four factors.
